La vengeance du tigre blanc

Perhaps this was a pilot for a TV series? The ending was left wide open for a sequel; it was an incredibly abrupt ending (not saying more so as not to spoil).

It was entertaining, but not great. The connection to the original story is pretty slight, but I enjoyed the new twist on it.

I finally saw Coppola's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (2000). Really, he was the Exec. Producer, but was running through his mind when he oversaw this film? This seems to be a pilot for TV series starring the underrated Adam Baldwin. Dr. Henry Jekyll is a plastic surgeon who goes to China for a honeymoon. While checking out a hospital, he is unwittingly forced to operate on a dying Triad member. The Triad dies, and the rest of the gang wants vengeance. They kidnap Jekyll's wife, and after stealing a kidney from Jekyll allow him to be with his wife before they die. Well as expected, Jekyll lives and is mentored by a doctor who introduces him to ancient Chinese herbs- especially those that can kill. Jekyll changes his name to Hyde, and goes on a vengeance spree against members of the Triad using Karate, Kung Fu and the herbs. I'm not making this up! Plot twist is that Henry Jekyll is the chosen White Tiger where it is written he is to protect the good Chinese people..... Aw Hell Pass!

Ouch, this one sucks big time. Too many plot holes, atrocious acting (if you can call it acting in the first place), rotten one-liners, wisecracking Chicago cop, this film just has no saving grace except some lovely shots of Hong Kong. Take my word, skip it.

This film has as much to do with the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, of the same name, as the Pope has to do with "break dancing." I don't know where the producers scraped up the chutzpah to give it that title, but they have turned the term shameless into an Olympic event.

Those flaws aside, it's not bad. No, it's not GONE WITH THE WIND; but by no means is it a Pauly Shore vehicle, either. It has some good messages (i.e. Drugs bad, Mafia bad, Old people and orphans good, Chinese herbal medicine good, etc.) and a few good moments of action. If they had toned down the violence and had been honest with the title, this film could have made a pretty decent feature for adolescents. Unfortunately, of course, that's not the case. Also, the ending came up so fast and unexpected, I unintentionally laughed.

If you like your story pretty obvious, sprinkled with some so-so attempts at humor, then this is for you. Indulge, just don't tell your neighbors.

Not recommended, unless you've been burgled and that's the only movie they left...and it would be...*sigh*.

This a very scary movie. It has great acting. It also has great special effects. It also has great story line. If you do not get scared off this movie then no movie will scary you. Doctor Jekyll's wife his murdered. He wants revenge. He find a chains drug that bring out his inner evil. The is a master masterpiece in terror and revenge. A great horror. Best one one of the best horror books ever. This a very scary movie. The 1912 version is better. The 1920 version is better. The 1932 version is also better. So is the 1941 version. But still this is a great movie. This movie is a must see. Adam Baldwin is a great actor. Steve B.a.s.t.o.n.i
